Nato supplies trucking becomes hazardous
Daily Times, Pakistan

PESHAWAR: Five torched trailers with their drivers compartments turned into gaping holes are parked at al-Faisal terminal on Ring Road. They were torched on December 7 during a militant attack on the terminal.

The signs of struggle put up by the firefighters to stop the fire from spreading to the petrol pump are still visible, and thick layers of dark substances formed during fire fighting could still be seen beneath the trucks.

Pakistan truckers refuse to haul NATO, US supplies

12/15/08

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) Pakistani truckers are refusing to haul vital supplies to NATO and U.S. forces in Afghanistan because of mounting attacks along the main route, a transporters association said Monday.
Pakistani troops recently began escorting convoys through the Khyber Pass to the border to protect them from Taliban ambushes. Western military officials insist their Afghan operations are not at risk.
However, suspected militants have pulled off a series of bold raids on depots near the city of Peshawar in recent weeks, killing several guards and burning hundreds of vehicles, including scores of Humvees.
Shakirullah Afridi, the president of the Khyber Transport Union, said Monday its members had been using some 3,500 trucks and trailers to carry fuel, food and other supplies to Afghanistan.
